Fort Walton Beach, FL

Evenin all, blogging to you from our new time zone (central) so for those back home its about 4am and were only at 10pm!

We had a pretty monster drive today, from St Petersburg to Fort Walton Beach. The original plan was to stop at Panama City, but we made good time so we came a bit further to lessen the distance we have to go tomorrow as we try and reach New Orleans.. Florida seems to go on forever....! We decided we wouldn't stop and do the laundry because, well.... who cares if we smell?? Only kiddin, we're definitely doing it tomorrow!

We sacked off the Sat Nav again today and pretty much made our own way here, with a tiny bit of help from the Clark's road atlas! (thanks guys) We decided to head off road a little, despite the warnings from the locals that 'that car will never make it down that track'..... She proved them all wrong, although when we pulled up at the hotel we noticed a lot of mud and dust marks....nothing a good old storm wont clean away tonight :) But mainly we stayed on the same road, following the coast, so the views were quite good. Tomorrow we continue west and aim for New Orleans ahead of the Green Day gig on Friday night!
